Taylor Swift Fan From China Who Paid S$2.2K For Fake Ticket Escorted To Interrogation Room 20mins Into Concert

When American pop star Taylor Swift first announced in June last year that she would be bringing her Eras Tour to Singapore, it possessed many into a ticket-buying frenzy.

A concertgoer from China by the name of Yang Junhao posted a video to Douyin with the headline: “I hope everyone can buy real tickets in the future and don’t be like me”.

The video starts with him dressed to the nines and already screaming to Taylor’s smash hit ‘Cruel Summer’.

However, Junhao's video later shows him looking listless. Turns out, he was escorted out of the venue by police 20 minutes into the concert and taken into an interrogation room below the stadium.

There, he was informed that he had bought fake scalper tickets.

Junhao continued recording himself looking helpless as Taylor sang ‘Anti-Hero' signaling the tail end of her show.

“I really hate the scalpers who sold fake tickets. It was really hard for me to come [to] see Taylor Swift,” he writes in the video.

“I had been looking forward to it for more than half a year, and I was really going to collapse!” he adds.

Junhao says he was supposed to return to China immediately — his luggage was apparently still at the airport — after the concert but must stay in Singapore until the police conclude their investigations.

“The hotels are super expensive and almost fully booked out. I don’t know where to go and I want to go home. I haven’t eaten in a day,” he shares.

He also adds in the comments that he had spent 12,000 yuan (S$2,228) on a ticket.

Hmm… Didn’t he know that there is a high chance of this happening if he didn’t buy from official sources?

Junhao requests that netizens don’t spread rumours in the comments and insists that he is a victim.

As he is still assisting the police on the case, he can’t share much but promises to do so once the investigations are done.

Junghao is not the only concertgoer to discover he had bought fake tickets to Taylor’s concert.

Two female fans from Thailand also shared a heartbreaking video of themselves crying outside the stadium as Taylor's could be heard in the background.

The Swifties realised they had bought fake tickets when they were rejected at the gantries.

Earlier this month, it was reported that at least 334 fans have fallen for scams involving fake Taylor Swift tickets with losses amounting to $213,000.
